Thomas Hunt married Cicely Clarke about 1640.2 On 1 March 1643 Thomas Hunt and Cicely Clarke were banished from New Haven and went to Stamford, Connecticut, and later to the Borough Town of Westchester (later part of the Bronx) in New York.2 In 1652, Thomas Hunt purchased land on Spicers and Brocketts Necks that became the nucleus of his notable estate, Grove Farm.1 This land was patented to him on 4 December, 1667.2 In 1658 they moved to Newtown, Long Island, and returned to Westchester in 1663.2 Thomas Hunt and Josiah Hunt were among the founders of St. Peter's Church, the Borough Town of Westchester, New York.2
